Pen Drawings Delight

Skill distinguishes real works of art from mere copies. Presenting three artists hailing from Bali – Harijadi, Supartha and Yoyon, Pen Drawing Delight takes you to a contemplative world of complete serenity through their exceptional works.

Copying the masters is a common way of learning many kind of skills. This is particularly true in Bali, where an abundance of visual, ritual, and performing arts are passed down from one generation to another. Those who are serious about pursuing the arts must possess serious dedication and extraordinary perseverance to evolve into true artists.

The works presented by Harijadi, Supartha and Yoyon are fine examples of how with years of practice and dedication, copies and craft can reach the level of fine art. Having spent a great deal of time and effort in honing their skills, their works are extremely detailed and timeless.
